Nike Air Jordan 12 Remastered 'Flu Game' Release Date, Pics, Price
The historic Nike Air Jordan 12 "Flu Game" gets a remastered edition Saturday.
The aptly named pair of kicks honors Michael Jordan's Game 5 performance against the Utah Jazz in the 1997 NBA Finals, where he dropped 38 points in one of the most memorable sporting performances of all time.
Several rereleases have come and gone since, but Saturday's promises the best modern offering yet.
Here's a look at the release details, via Sneaker Bar Detroit:
| Saturday, May 28 | $190 |
B/R Kicks provided one angle:
Folks shouldn't find much in the way of a surprise here with the Black and Varsity Red—just appreciation for a legendary offering.
The same slick design hasn't left, with the word Jumpman on the side, a textured red sole and the patterned black sides. Nice Kicks on Instagram cast the shoe in a favorable light:
The underside of the shoe feels just as familiar, with the sleek design leading all the way up to the Jumpman at the toes.
Sneaker Bar Detroit flipped one over for a peek:
The kicks catch the eye from the back, too, thanks to the three most important logos to grace the shoes. KICKSUSA caught this look:
Talk about a can't-miss package for collectors.
It's one thing for a shoe to have a great design, especially these days when seemingly everything has been done before. But a shoe featured in a legendary moment puts a release over the top.
A strong, time-tested design even before Jordan's legendary performance, it's no wonder Nike is going out of its way to remaster the classic.
For folks who want a classic done right and to relive a generation-defining moment, the Air Jordan 12 Remastered "Flu Game" drops Saturday.
